John Culton

I am a defense and space professional with experience forging positive interagency and international relationships, leading high performing teams, and executing operations.

Since 2011, I have been involved internationally in the space sector, with a focus on the intersection of space policy, law, regulation, and technology as it relates to the use of space resources and its critical role in supporting long-term human presence beyond low-Earth orbit.
